Astronomy Night - Watch the SkyHot

Not all events have to happen in the daylight hours. Sometimes the best adventures in your community will be had at night!

For this exciting astronomy event, you’ll need to stay abreast of local celestial events like lunar eclipses, super moons, comets, and meteor showers.

Choosing the day of your event

When planning your Astronomy Night event, consult timetables and resources to pick the best celestial events. Choose interesting and exciting events, like meteor showers and lunar eclipses, that your community residents, will be most interested in. Be sure to choose events visible from your community’s location.

If possible, Friday and Saturday night events will work best for late-night community star-viewing. This is because most children don’t need to be up the next day for school. Avoid late night Mon.-Thurs. and Sunday night events.

Choose a dark viewing spot

It can be difficult to see past all the city lights reflected on the sky’s atmosphere. However, you can minimize the effect of light pollution by hosting an Astronomy Night in the darkest corner of your community property.

***TIP*** If allowed by law in your area, temporarily dim or turn off lights in a portion of your property for the duration of the event. This will make it easier for residents to see, and appreciate the night sky.
